romance meter malfunction -- bring on the angst! - Page 3

I didn't give 100% to romance meter malfunction only because of FK and sumbul's acting. that said, I really can't ignore the flaws of the arc. I am not mad that I feel cheated but I do feel a bit let down from the show. I love logic in writing and I want to be immersed in a story. give me magic so that I don't notice all sorts of other things beside the plot. if you give me proper writing, I will ignore all the absurdities and just enjoy. however, if writers write stupidity in the middle and then give a great scene, it really gets a meh from me.

I was laughing at the treedate for various reasons.

#1, if you are going to be building on stilts, there is no way the logs are so thin that you can just tumble over. that is super bad construction.

#2, I was cracking up they built it next to a mud swamp. that is super bad for foundation and even a non-engineer will have some sense to build it a little far away? and mud swamps just have mosquitoes and so before any confession, they are more likely to be swatting insects and battling pre-dengue. 🤣

#3, I was dying when they showed jo cutting the wood. this was obviously written by some city folk who have never ventured into the forest. do people realize how quiet it is when there is no traffic? 🤣🤣🤣 you can hear someone approaching just by their walk because it is so quiet. and I am supposed to buy that these two were so busy being romantic they never heard an axe? 🤣🤣🤣

I was actually thinking the same. 🤣🤣 Like who in their right mind builds a treehouse meant as a gift for the person they love and for the purpose of a love confession, near a swamp? Also, how did they even conveniently chance upon that barely deserted haveli in the middle of a forest, in that rainstorm?

and the haveli has chandeliers and electricity. our people are so kanjoos -- why would anyone be paying EB bill for abandoned mansion? and EB dept cuts the connection immediately when it is unpaid. 😂

because my feel is that neither of the actors want to play parents as of yet -- my guess is that she is going to have a miscarriage and both of them are going to blame each other and tear each other apart for the loss. that is one way to create angst from a random pregnancy track. if done well, it can be riveting angst. if badly written, just rona dhona.

Either its a fake pregnancy or even if its real it will definitely end up in miscarriage . But rather than blaming each other , I think they will blame themselves and retrieve in their shell . It will actually be great to see bcz many couples break apart as.loss.is so great . Imlie will be broken and aryan will be guilty that he failed to protect imlie and his child..

How their love overcomes grief or is loss to big in front of their love. It would make an amazing watch.

Tbh at this point i won't even mind memory loss.

Both the above scenerios will.be like falling for each other again .

PS: I would actually like if they converse after confession and tell each other the.moment they fell in love especially imlie .

Oh absolutely he gave that vibe tbh . Its not even he was a great actor who was not recognised. He was given his chances he failed . I don' t buy his narrative that he didn't know adi will turn negative that was literally the way story was progressing. On top of that the fake trends. He is actually lucky that it is not ekta show she would have made sure he doesn't get work .

I personally feel sad for team, actors and writers , they already had story planned that to a great one dealing with second chances and processing grief. But just bcz of one person all that went down the drain. I especially feel sad for aryan's character and feel robbed as a viewer bcz the way fahmaan acts he would have killed it.

Also i actually think their initial plan during Purandass track was to make adi guilty but due to actor they had to change it.

Ahh it hurts everytime i think what could havr been but i still want show to do good bcz team and actors deserve it.

All i can hope is that now with the equation changed they atleast got something to.work.with. lets hope the coming track might help them get back their footing.

am still salty over the wasted potential. I don't think aditya turning negative was such a big disaster for him to quit just after having done 50 episodes or so. my take is that he felt outshone by fahmaan and the audience reaction to aryan. he couldn't take it because in his head, he was supposed to be the lead. it makes me shake my head and eye roll.

so during casting for thor, tom hiddleston originally auditioned for the role of thor. however, he got rejected and they wanted someone with the kind of physique that chris hemsworth had. instead, tom was offered loki. he not only took the role but he made it so charming and winning that he has a special place in the heart of audience. I was reading the other day that out of all the marvel series on disney+ streaming, loki series has the highest viewership. loki -- who is the villain.

so if someone put their heart and soul, they would be appreciated even if they were the villain. there are many dramas that I watched just for the villain -- I may have disliked the character but I absolutely appreciated how the actors chewed up the scenes and made us watch. so the actor's reason for quitting is utter BS in my view.

this actor just had ego and any producer should think a little -- if you write a track that he doesn't like, will he quit again? so unreliable!

mili - I totally agree with you; aryan is a very passionate person and so we have been getting signals for a while that things are changing for him. so it makes sense that his confession would have a feeling of explosion and drama. however, for imlie? am sorry but the writers totally dropped the ball. I think they wanted it be ambigious for a long while because she was getting divorced and the optics for many of the audience would felt weird -- how does a woman go from one man to another with hardly any time lapse? or maybe the writers wanted a triangle situation where she went back and forth till she finally chose one guy?

the other problem is that imlie had far more passion and drama when it came to tripathy family and how she just had to save their house. we can all remember her "apne!" dialogues and drama. so her muted reactions to aryan just makes me go "hmmm".. it makes me ask "is this a rebound?"

and I had the same feelings as your reaction to arpita -- I am not sure what she has contributed really toward his life. it is because we have not seen him really work on his grief. there was no step by step. the idea that she exposed the villain behind arvind's death and that gave him instantaneous relief -- am sorry, even cold medicine does not give immediate relief. 😂

Not to be sadistic, but would have loved it if the writers chalked Imlie's fiasco with her forced marriage and her involvement with Tfamily and patrakaar as " infatuation". Woh ek baar kar chuke hain na with patrakaar, the mashoor ML of the show to put down 7 years of relationship, courtship, proposing for wedding and going through the wedding as a case of mistaken identity of emotions- what love? where love? Patrakaar didn't know what love meant. He is so naive that he thought gehri dosti as love. He is such a fool who didn't know that dosti mein bhi kissing, courting, wedding yeh sab chalte hain😡🤬

By the same token, they should have said, yeah 5-6 months of forced marriage, living in the same house, excitement of being persuaded by a mature, twice married bigamist husband in deference to an elegant, educated, mature sister, chupke chupke had infatuated her

On second thoughts, may be too progressive and shocking for prime time TV🤡. This is why I am not in the drama business🤢

kekekke... it was definitely infatuation. she went from screaming and bawling "apne" every few scenes to now not even remembering they exist. how quickly the heart forgets if the connection was weak. 🤣

Isn' t it what fahmaan did . He played lead in his previous show , entered this show with uncertainity . Didn't even know if its cameo or pivotal role. He gave his best in every chance he got. What fahmaan did is so rare to watch in itv .only time it worked was Mr bajaj. He wasn't even promised a second.lead . He slowly with his hardwork made a place in trp audience's heart who are so hard to please. Even when he was thought of as a potential villian he made people root for him . He literally won people over with his impeccable performance. Offcourse writing helps but he brought ASR to life. Trp audience who are so rigid when it comes to jodis started shipping him with imlie to the point that whenever she did her BS jaap they felt sad for aryan.

And not once he takes credit for it . Always shares it with others hypes his costars . He not only won heart of audience but also.of directors and his co-stars.

Yes, what was that haveli? Where did they find it? It has nice chandeliers but also DDLJ like barn material straw and logs cut in the right size.👍🏼And matches.

Also wondering, why the heck did Aryan worry about an empty bucket like bag she carried? Huhhh!!! I mean she just came from the dead and he needed to get that bag back to her . And to see that dangling on her shoulder as he carried her out is like 🤣🤣

I don't know if any of you deal with cute, elderly couples, like the couples who tell you they are married for 60+ years, they call each other " mom and dad", they help each other with their shoes and clothes and get their canes and walkers situated🤗❤️ Aryan gave that vibe bringing her bag to her🤣😃

My husband refused to hold on to my purse in the airport security line when we were newly married. He is like, I will do anything but this, I get the above vibe. It was exactly 3 years later when he was carrying my purse, our daughter's diaper bag, both of our shoes and running through the airport🤣 Men 🤡Some how, I FBed to this when I saw Aryan carrying her bag🤣

I personally loved it . Its reflects his humility and care . It has a different old school lover vibe . Such a small gesture but impactful. I also loved when their coffee date scene how he was waiting for his working wife to come home so they could share a moment . No ego nothing just humlity. Such a rare scene to come across in itv . Aryan has my heart .
